SSP Spring Fair Recap!

I had such a wonderful time at the SSP Spring Fair last weekend!  SSP is actually my daughter's school here in South City, Saint Louis, and I really wanted to take part in order to help raise funds for the school.  La Beaume Paperie did great in sales, met some awesome new friends, ate a LOT of food from 2 Girls and 4 Wheels food truck,  and had a fabulous time, despite the dreary weather!  I just wanted to thank Holly with Sweet Tart Bakery for organizing the event, and thank my neighbors at the event Julie Lopinot at Silpada and Heather Mattingly at Thirty-One for keeping me sane, giving me someone to talk to, and repeatedly taping my sign banner back to my booth!!

Thank you So Much to everyone that came out and stopped by and helped show support for SSP!! So much fun to meet all of you!!

Jenna and Nick's Wedding!!

La Beaume Paperie was so honored to have the opportunity to play a  part in this gorgeous and incredibly fun wedding and reception in St. Louis!  Nick and Jenna are a truly lovely couple - fun, hilarious, and so much in love with each other that it almost hurts to watch them together!!

Thier wedding ceremony took place at St Stephen Protomartyr - a Catholic Church in the heart of South City - and only blocks from thier home.  It was a wonderful ceremony and some of the highlights were watching Jenna's brother Benny attempt to fuss over Jenna's train, as he was Jenna's "Man of Honor" in the wedding!!

The reception was later that evening at St. Louis City Museum - an outrageously urban venue that practically guarantees a night you will never forget.  Jenna and Nick's reception was in the Vault Room - a throwback to the 1920s, featuring and entire wall made of vintage safety deposit boxes, a wall made entirely of Vess soda bottles, and an original round vault door which leads into a hallway of mirrors.

 Now down to my favorite part - the decor.  The reception was an amazing juxtaposition of both modern and romantic vintage with just a touch of rustic - that worked so well!! Jenna comes from an extremely talented family, and I have never in my life seen such incredible handmade decor and details all in one spot!  Jenna's sister in law created all of the wedding stationery, as well as the signage and printed items.  They were so current and amazing and all reflected Nick and Jenna's style!



The Signature Drink - The STREKER (a combination of the couple's last name!)

Jenna's super talented brother and sister in law created a jawdropping cake and cupcakes - which were not only absolutely beautiful to look at, but also delicious!

 




Elegance By Design did an incredible job with the bouquets and fresh flower centerpeices - very romantic and shabby chic.  The centerpeices alternated between tall arrangements and low arrangements and they were simply divine!

La Beaume Paperie met with the venue, assisted in some overall planning, and provided the large white luminaries as additional lighting for the reception. 

All of the photography featured on this website was provided by Stephen Seward Photography and they did such a wonderful job!

Here are a few more pictures I couldnt resist posting -
